    I think the I4 and the V6 are the same. It's 5 quarts. Check your owners manual.

    the oil filter holds something like .3 quarts and the rest is 4.2 quarts. im not all the accurate so i just put in 5 and call it a day.

    I tried to change my oil yesterday, and I ended up stripping the oil drain bolt...so now I gotta get it off, and buy a new one...it's only stripped on the outside, not the threads or anything severe like that

    I stripped it before too. Only cost .50 cents for the replacement from the dealer. I have been putting 4 quarts in, have not had any problems at all doing it. Oh well. I have to find a garage with a pit in it so that I can change my oil now, cause of the bodykit and the lowering. Maybe I'll just dig one up in my garage lol.

    Yes, 4.5 qts is what the manual says too if you change out the oil filter too. I mean, who changes oil and not the filter anyway; that's stupid, lol.

    my dealer liked to charge me for 5 quarts. and kept my extra quart of my $4 mobile one synthetic when i started bringing my own oil. bastards :evil: no wonder they always bitched about my synthetic oil . i know the 2.4l takes 4 quarts to be a little over the full line(includes filter). i just put 3 and 3/4 to get it between the lines. i take my car to a local oil change place now . atleast now i can stand by my car and watch them do it .
